Question How to get a *semi*-Transparent Task Bar

[RS13]

I'd like to make the taskbar SEMI-transparent. I do not want an invisible taskbar like TranslucentTB and I do not want an almost completely opaque taskbar like the default taskbar with "transparency effects" on. I'd like on where I can see the wallpaper behind it, while still seeing that it is there. Something halfway between TranslucentTB and transparency effects. Can anyone help me?

Here in this guide it says how to do so, using Registry Editor.

*Editing the registry is not recommended, specially if you don't know what you're doing. Create a registry backup and a system backup before continuing.

You can do that with manual configuration on TranslucentTB.
Choose Clear mode, configure Accent color and adjust transparency slider to middle.
Taskbar becomes fully transparent, but in slightly darker (or lighter) shade depending on chosen accent color.

Not free but worth it!

Provided that I correctly understand the problem all that should be necessary is to turn off (or maybe ON) the transparency effects.

FYI:

You can easily google for similar links.

Do not download any software claiming to "fix" the problem and/or stay out of the registry.

If changine the transparency (either way) does not work then post again and provide more details.
